usdm b18c1 gsr swap in a 93 EX coupe, motor runs and idles just fine, no cel's but it just doesnt feel strong at all, im wondering if vtec is working, or if the IAB's are even working. The car seems dead and doesnt pull like it should.
any ideas of where to start?
im going to check timing, spark plugs etc.. tommorow , anything else i can take a look at

 

Check your valve lash...if they are way off it will run like ***. also do a compression check.

 

compression test

 

Checking the timing could help, but if that was the problem, you would most likely have an incosistent idle. Compression test will at least give you peace of mind for the cylinders.

 

yea im going to check that stuff today

 

You will definately know if VTEC is working...I love that sound...Good Luck and sorry to hear that bro...

 

also i dont think my IAB's are working

im using the integra harness, 97 b18c1, and obd1 p72.

cant seem to figure it out

 

Did you check compression & spark plugs?
